EDITED STORY AVAILABLE: SILVER LINING

Note: I've posted the first chapter of the edited version of this fic, now called Silver Lining. I've decided to keep this story online. Consider it a sort of ''Deleted Scenes Special''! :) Having a new, non-chronological order for this story will allow me to write more often about Naruto interacting with the Rookie Nine and other Konoha ninjas.

I hope you will enjoy this new approach to the story! Thank you for your patience and understanding!
